Method of modulating human meridian system using small bar magnet

ABSTRACT

A method of modulating the human meridian system using a small bar magnet is provided. In the method of modulating the human meridian system, the small bar magnet has a length of 3 cm or less and a coercivity of 1000 gauss or greater. The meridian system is modulated by attaching the small bar magnet to the skin or hypodermically implanting the small bar magnet, such that the direction of flow of a magnetic force of the magnet is the same as or opposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system. The method, which can replace traditional acupuncture and/or moxibustion for modulating the human meridian system, allows ordinary people to use the same in a risk-free, safe and simple manner without causing pain to a body.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a method of modulating the humanmeridian system using a small bar magnet, and more particularly, to amethod of modulating the human meridian system by attaching a small barmagnet having a length of 3 cm or less, preferably 1 cm or less, to thesurface of the skin of a body or by hypodermically implanting the smallbar magnet, such that the direction of flow of a magnetic force of themagnet is the same as or opposite to the direction of flow of themeridian system.

BACKGROUND ART

In the oriental medical art, it is said that there are the five visceraand the six entrails in a human body and when they are harmonized, thehuman health is ensured, and when disharmonized, various diseases mayattack. Energy circulation pathways running through a body vertically upand down, that is, from the head to legs and from the chest to arms,termed meridians, control functions of the viscera and the entrails.

According to the ancient Chinese theory concerning the viscera and theentrails, the viscera include liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney andheart constrictor, and the entrails include gall bladder, smallintestine, paunch, large intestine, bladder and triple warmers.Accordingly, there are twelve main meridians named after correspondingparts of organs of the body and eight extra meridians. Among the eightextra meridians, two extra meridians passing through the front nervecenter and the rear nerve center are grouped with the twelve mainmeridians and categorized as 14 meridians. In particular, there arepoints of the meridians at which the flow of an energy force, called Qi,is strong, which are called acupuncture points. The acupuncture pointsof each meridian are selectively stimulated by a Bosa method which is anacupuncture method combining Bo method and Sa method wherein Bo meanspromotive and Sa means inhibitive, to regulate an energy force, therebypromoting the flow of the energy force and harmonizing the viscera andthe entrails. The acupuncture points are distributed along 14 mainmeridians at 360 positions throughout the body.

The ancient Chinese theory concerning the viscera and the entrails isessentially employed for determination and treatment of diseases in theclinical practice of the modern Oriental medical art. The clinical studyof the modern medical science also proved that when there is abnormalityin the organs or intestines, symptoms of pains, ache, stiffness, feelingof cold, hot feeling and so on, are developed in the shape of dots,lumps or lines on the skin or muscles directly associated with theabnormal organs or intestines. This phenomenon occurs just as the bodyis banded in a loop or knot. Also, there are several spots of strongreactivity along the band. In many cases, the spots correspond toacupuncture points.

In the Oriental medical art, acupuncture or moxibustion has beentraditionally adopted to treat and regulate malfunctions of the visceraand the entrails by stimulating the acupuncture points. However, sincethe acupuncture or moxibustion causes severe pain arising due tobleeding, bruise or burning of the skin, people are basically unwillingto get treatment by the acupuncture or moxibustion. Thus, in spite oftherapeutic effectiveness, acupuncture or moxibustion tends to be oftenavoided. Nowadays, infection with contagious diseases such as AIDS is amatter of great concern. The present invention relates to a method ofmodulating the human meridian system using a small bar magnet having alength of 3 cm or less, preferably 1 cm or less, instead of theconventional acupuncture or moxibustion.

In a conventional method of modulating the human acupuncture points ormeridian system using a magnet, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, either theN or S pole of a conical magnet is attached to the skin so that themagnetic field is applied to the body, thereby stimulating theacupuncture points of the body. According to the method of attaching apole of a magnet to the skin, however, local spots with the magnetattached thereto can only be stimulated, but the effect of modulatingthe meridian system cannot be expected.

An example of the conventional technique is a method of stimulatingacupuncture points using two magnets such that the two magnets areadhered to each other by an adhesive tape with opposite polaritiescontacting each other and the magnets are contacted to acupuncturepoints, as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication 1995-31128. KoreanPatent Publication No. 1990-14007 discloses a method of activatingacupuncture point of a body using an acupuncture point controller havingtwo magnet fixing devices by arranging outer ends of a permanent magnetwith N and S poles of conical magnets being differently fixed to eachouter end of the permanent magnet and making the outer ends get closerto acupuncture points, thereby directing a magnetic force generated fromthe magnet toward acupuncture points of the body and increasing themagnetic force through an iron plate flowing from a N pole to a S pole,to supply the magnetic force to hemoglobin in blood, thereby activatingacupuncture point of the body.

As a further improvement, Korean Utility Model No. 164711 discloses amethod in which a large tubular magnet and a small disc-shaped magnethaving pores are superposed vertically to then be housed in a syntheticresin case, and the magnets are attached to an inductive iron plate sothat the small magnet is made to fixedly contact an acupuncture point tostimulate the magnetic force, thereby regulating flow of Qi of a body.Also, in the disclosed method, the magnet is attached to two differentacupuncture points and N and S poles are differently contacted to theacupuncture points considering the direction of flow of an energy actingtherebetween. Blood circulation is affected by a magnetic energy appliedbetween the two acupuncture points, and the inductive iron plate servesas an antenna. According to this technique, like in the conventionaltechnology in which acupuncture points are stimulated by infiltrating amagnetic force into parts corresponding the acupuncture points, bloodcirculation is promoted or inhibited using a magnetic force, based onthe fact that hemoglobin in blood is ferroelectric. However, it is verydifficult to apply this technique into actual practice because a deviceaccording to this technique is complicated and is inconvenient to carry.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

To overcome the disadvantages of the conventional acupuncture and/ormoxibustion for modulating the human meridian system, the inventor ofthe present invention conducted research into a method which can replacethe conventional acupuncture and/or moxibustion for a long time andcompleted the present invention based on the conclusions that the samemagnetic force of a bar magnet is maintained when it is attached to thesurface of the skin so as to lean to the skin and when it ishypodermically implanted and that flow of the magnetic force affects thehuman meridian system.

The present invention provides a method of modulating the human meridiansystem using a small bar magnet having a length of 3 cm or less,preferably 1 cm or less, instead of conventional acupuncture ormoxibustion. In the present invention, for an inactive meridian, a smallbar magnet is attached to the surface of the skin or is hypodermicallyimplanted, such that the direction of flow of a magnetic force, that is,the direction of an internal magnetic force of the magnet, is the sameas the direction of flow of the meridian system, thereby promoting thehuman meridian system. Conversely, a small bar magnet is attached to thesurface of the skin or is hypodermically implanted, such that thedirection of flow of a magnetic force is opposite to the direction offlow of the meridian system, thereby inhibiting the human meridiansystem. In such a manner, the human meridian system is modulated usingflow of a magnetic force, rather than using the conventionalacupuncture.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a method of modulating the human meridiansystem using a small bar magnet having a length of 3 cm or less and acoercivity of 1000 gauss or greater, wherein the human meridian systemis promoted by attaching the small bar magnet to the skin such that suchthat the direction of flow of a magnetic force of the magnet is the sameas the direction of flow of the meridian system, or the human meridiansystem is inhibited by attaching the small bar magnet to the skin suchthat the direction of flow of a magnetic force of the bar magnet isopposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system.

The present invention also provides a method of modulating the humanmeridian system using a small bar magnet having a length of 3 cm or lessand a coercivity of 1000 gauss or greater, wherein the meridian systemis promoted by hypodermically implanting the small bar magnet such thatthe direction of an internal magnetic force of the magnet is the same asthe direction of flow of the meridian system, or the meridian system isinhibited by hypodermically implanting the small bar magnet such thatthe direction of an internal magnetic force of the magnet is opposite tothe direction of flow of the meridian system.

FIG. 1A shows a direction of a magnetic force of a small bar magnet usedin the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A, the magnetic force of thebar magnet flows from the N pole to the S pole, and polarity is directedfrom the S pole to the N pole inside the bar magnet. As shown in FIGS.1B through 1E, the flow of the magnetic force is maintained in the samedirection when the bar magnet is attached to the surface of a body suchthat it contacts the surface and when it is hypodermically implanted.According to the direction of polarity of a bar magnet attached to thebody, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 1D, the direction of the magnetic forceof the small bar magnet can be made to be the same as the direction offlow of the meridian system, that is, the human energy circulationsystem. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 1C and 1E, the direction of themagnetic force of the small bar magnet can be made to be opposite to thedirection of flow of the meridian system.

The flow of the meridian system and a method of using the small barmagnet according to the present invention will now be described in moredetail.

The human meridian system and flow thereof are described in Section<Miraculous Pivot> of <Huangdi's Internal Classic>, a classic oftraditional acupuncture, which was presumably written approximately 2000years ago in ancient China. According to this literature as cited in<Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion> published by Foreign LanguagesPress, Beijing, in 1987 and 1990, there are 12 meridians and flow of Qiis maintained in a predetermined direction along these meridians. Amongthe 12 meridians, six upstream meridians run through the front part of abody, that is, the chest and abdominal regions, and interior sides ofthe legs and arms. In other words, the six upstream meridians includethe liver, kidney and spleen meridians running from the tiptoes to thechest and the lung, heart constrictor and heart meridians running fromthe chest to the fingertips, all running upward from the feet to thechest and from the chest to the fingertips.

On the other hand, six downstream meridians run through a body downward,including three hand-ward, outward meridians, that is, the largeintestine, triple warmer and small intestine meridians running from theback of the hand to the face via the shoulder, and three foot-ward,inward meridians, that is, the stomach, gall bladder and bladdermeridians running from the face, head or neck to the toes via the waist,the hip and the side and back of the leg.

As described above, the upstream meridians run from a lower part to anupper part of a body and the downstream meridians run from an upper partto a lower part of a body. Also, a magnetic force of a bar magnet flowsfrom the N pole to the S pole and an internal magnetic force of themagnet flows from the S pole to the N pole.

As described above, the present invention is based on the fact that boththe human meridian system and a magnetic force of a magnet havedirectionality. Based on the confirmation that when the direction offlow of a magnetic force is the same as or opposite to the direction offlow of the meridian system, the flow of the magnetic force exerts thesame effect on the human meridian system as the conventional acupunctureor moxibustion, the present invention provides a new method ofmodulating the human meridian system using a bar magnet which canreplace acupuncture or moxibustion.

In the traditional acupuncture of the oriental medical art, anacupuncture needle is inserted in the same direction as the direction offlow of the meridian system for stimulation, thereby promoting Qi, thatis, the flow of an energy force, which is called a Bo (promotive)method. The Bo (promotive) method is used when physical strength isexhausted or the flow of meridians is depressed.

On the contrary, the flow of the meridian system may be overlystimulated, causing an excited state of the internal organs associatedwith the meridian system, which is called a robust symptom in theoriental medical art. In this case, an acupuncture needle is inserted ina direction opposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system,thereby inhibiting the flow of the meridian system, which is called a Sa(inhibitive) method.

In this case, according to the Bo (promotive) method, a tip of theacupuncture needle is inserted in the same direction as that of flow ofthe meridian system. According to the Sa (inhibitive) method, the tip ofthe acupuncture needle is opposite to the direction of flow of themeridian system.

In the present invention, the Bosa method of the traditional acupunctureare applied to a magnet, in which the direction of an acupuncture needletip inserted into an acupuncture point is made to correspond to thedirection of flow of a magnetic force. In other words, a bar magnet isattached to the surface of the skin such that the direction of aninternal magnetic force of the magnet is the same as the direction offlow of the meridian system, thereby promoting the human meridiansystem. Conversely, the bar magnet is attached to the surface of theskin such that the direction of flow of a magnetic force is opposite tothe direction of flow of the meridian system, thereby inhibiting thehuman meridian system. In such a manner, the human meridian system ismodulated by flow of a magnetic force, rather than using conventionalacupuncture.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case of the human meridiansystem in the lung, heart constrictor and heart meridians, running fromthe chest to the fingertips, a bar magnet is attached such that the Spole is directed to the shoulder and the N pole is directed to thefingertips so that the direction of flow of a magnetic force is the sameas the direction of flow of the meridian system, thereby promoting thehuman meridian system.

On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 4, a bar magnet is attached such thatthe S pole is directed to the fingertips and the N pole is directed tothe shoulder so that the direction of flow of a magnetic force isopposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system in the lung,heart constrictor and heart meridians, thereby inhibiting the meridiansystem by the magnetic force.

The method of modulating the flow of the meridian system using a smallbar magnet according to the present invention will now be described indetail. However, the following methods are illustrative only and it isto be understood that it is no way limited to the disclosure of suchillustrated methods but is capable of various modifications within thescope of the present invention.

(1) Attaching a Single Bar Magnet

A single bar magnet is attached to a part of pain or correspondingacupuncture point. According to the symptom, the bar magnet is attachedsuch that the direction of an internal magnetic force of the magnet isthe same as the direction of flow of the meridian system, therebypromoting the human meridian system, or the bar magnet is attached suchthat the direction of flow of a magnetic force is opposite to thedirection of flow of the meridian system, thereby inhibiting the humanmeridian system.

(2) Attaching Bar Magnets in a Line

When parts of pain are developed in a long line on a body, bar magnetsare attached lengthwise to the parts of pain at a constant interval,e.g., approximately 1 cm. Since a magnetic force of the magnet isapplied lengthwise along the parts of pain, the effect of pain reliefcan be increased. In this case, the magnet is selectively attached byeither a Bo (promotive) or Sa (inhibitive) method according to thesymptoms such that the direction of flow of the magnetic force is thesame as or opposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system.

(3) Attaching Two Magnets Side by Side

Two bar magnets are attached side by side at an interval ofapproximately 1 cm. When the two bar magnets are in the same direction,a relative great magnetic force is produced, so that the painsuppressing effect can be enhanced. On the contrary, two bar magnet maybe attached in the opposite direction to each other, therebyappropriately modulating the effect.

(4) Attaching Bar Magnets Side by Side in Multiple Lines

This method is used when parts of pain are widespread in a stiffcondition. In this case, tender points, oversensitive points oracupuncture points are detected and bar magnets are attached theretoside by side in more than 3 lines, usually in 4 to 5 lines such that thesame poles of the bar magnets are disposed in the same direction. In thecase where the diameter of a part of pain is greater than or equal to 5cm, this method can be advantageously used to extend a magnetic field,thereby maximizing the therapeutic effect.

(5) Attaching Two Bar Magnets Together

A bar magnet is attached to a meridian at one side of a part of pain andanother bar magnet is attached to a meridian at the opposite side of thepart of pain, such that the direction of an internal magnetic force ofthe magnet is the same as or opposite to the direction of flow of themeridian system. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a bar magnet isattached to Neiguan acupuncture point (PC06) such that the N pole of thebar magnet is directed to a fingertip, and another bar magnet isattached to Waiguan acupuncture point (SJ05) such that the N pole isdirected to the elbow. This method is particularly effective fordiseases in the circulation system, such as heart disease, hyperpiesia,stroke and the like, or diseases in the neck or shoulder.

(6) Attaching a Bar Magnet Followed by Tapping

After attaching a bar magnet in the above-described manner, the barmagnet is lightly tapped approximately 50 times, thereby increasing amagnetic field to offer bio-electricity, so that therapeutic effects canbe enhanced.

(7) Hypodermic Implantation

Like in the case where a bar magnet is attached to the surface of theskin, a bar magnet is hypodermically implanted such that the directionof an internal magnetic force of the magnet is the same as or oppositeto the direction of flow of the meridian system, thereby regulating thehuman meridian system. In detail, this method is performed by generalimplantation methods known in the medical and pharmaceutical fields,such as hypodermic implantation of an insulin pump. For example, the barmagnet according to the present invention can be put into an injectiondevice in the form of a syringe and a piston of the syringe is pressedso that the bar magnet can be hypodermically inserted and implantedthrough a needle of the syringe. This method is particularly suitablyadopted for chronic diseases such as hyperpiesia, stroke, heart disease,diabetes and the like.

According to the present invention, since the bar magnet used tomodulate the meridian system is attached to the surface of the skin at ameridian or acupuncture point to be controlled, it is preferably a smallbar magnet having a coercivity of 1000 gauss or greater. The bar magnethas a length of 3 cm or less, preferably 1 cm or less, and a thicknessof 0.5 mm or less. More preferably, the bar magnet has a length of 5 mmor less and a thickness of 0.3 mm or less. As long as the coercivity of1000 gauss or greater is maintained, the bar magnet is preferably assmall as possible. The inventor of the present invention has developedand used a small bar magnet satisfying these requirements. Of course, itis possible to use a magnet having a length of 3 cm or greater inembodying the present invention with slight inconvenience of use.

In addition to the above-described bar magnet, any kind of a magnet thatcan make the direction of flow of an internal magnetic force be the sameas or opposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system, forexample, an electro-magnet. While the small bar magnet according to thepresent invention can be suitably used for ordinary people because ofits portability, the electro-magnet can be effectively used for medicalcenters such as hospitals.
